Your bridesmaids have likely been there for you throughout the wedding planning process, and now it's time to treat your girls to a special gift to show your appreciation. There isn’t a right or wrong time to give them their gifts, but the morning of the wedding is such a special part of the day where you can relax before all the madness begins, and so it makes a great time to give your girls their thank you gifts so if you're looking for some wonderful gifts for bridesmaids on wedding day, we've put together a short list to get the creative juices flowing.

However finding the perfect gift isn't always an easy task, especially with so many beautiful items to choose from! We’ve complied a list of beautiful and heartfelt gift ideas which you can give to your bridesmaids to say thank you for being by your side throughout the wedding planning process!

Champagne Flutes To Toast Your Wedding Day

If you are looking for a unique gift with the 'wow' factor, why not treat your bridesmaids to their very own personalised champagne flute, painted to match their outfits and with their names or a special thank you message written on it.

They are great for enjoying a glass of bubbly together while getting ready, or as a surprise for them at the wedding breakfast later in the day! Take a look at these gorgeous glasses which are painted with a beautiful textured design and are available to match any colour scheme.

Beautiful Matching Jewellery To Celebrate The Big Day

Buying jewellery for your bridesmaids is a lovely idea, and if you give it to them on the morning of the wedding then they'll be able to wear it on the big day! This is a really thoughtful gift that the girls are sure to appreciate.

There are so many stunning pieces put there to choose from, especially on sites like Etsy.com, and you could get them something to match their dresses, perhaps with a coloured gemstone in. You could even get them a personalised trinket box or dish which they can use to keep their new jewellery in after the big day. We love these fab necklaces here.

A Day Of Pampering With A Spa Day Treat

Your bridesmaids are going to be pretty exhausted when the wedding is all over, so why not treat them to a day at the spa! After all there's nothing us girls love more than a bit of pampering! You could either arrange for you all to go to the spa as a group and spend the day together, or you could give each of the girls their own voucher so that they can arrange a spa treatment whenever suits them.

Create Your Own Hand Painted Christmas Wine Glasses

The following contribution Create Your Own Hand Painted Christmas Wine Glasses is from www.cheekyvino.co.uk

The festive season is here again already, and you're probably starting to think of ideas for gifts and for how to make your home look more festive! One fantastic way to start feeling 'Christmassy' is to start working on creating an impressive Christmas dinner table! One great way to do this is to make your very own set of hand painted Christmas wine glasses. This may sound complicated (and messy!) but it doesn't have to be! You can paint absolutely any design you like, and it could either be something quite challenging or something really simple.

Christmas wine glasses

So...where to start? The first thing to do is to find some wine glasses, preferably cheap ones as you may want to buy a couple of spares in case you need to practice first! You can also buy coloured glasses, so if you wanted you could paint your design on a red or green background, giving it extra colour.

You will also need to buy some special glass-painting paints, which you can find online or in most craft stores such as Hobbycraft. You'll also need a couple of different sized paint brushes, a larger one for larger areas of colour, and a small one for painting the finer details. And finally...you'll need to decide what to paint. (Thinking of ideas can often be the hardest part!) Things like Christmas trees, snowmen, Santa hats, presents and stockings are all lovely festive items and can be painted in nice bright colours.

Make sure you give your glasses a clean before you start painting, as any dirt on there could stop the paint from sticking. Always follow the instructions on the paint packaging as drying times, curing instructions etc can differ between manufacturers.

If you don't fancy painting, then another option is to decorate your glasses with little coloured diamantes, pearls, holly embellishments, etc. These will look extremely pretty, although you will need to take extra care when washing them so that the decorations to not come off.

If you would prefer to create some glasses that can be used all year round rather than just during the festive season, then you could still add a festive touch to them by tying a Christmassy ribbon in a bow around the stem, or adding some Christmas wine charms. You could make every ribbon or charm different, so that your guests remember which is their glass!

So why not have a go at creating your very own set of hand painted Christmas wine glasses, then sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of vino!

3 Inspiring Ideas To Get Your Creative Glass Painting Juices Flowing

The information 3 Inspiring Ideas To Get Your Creative Glass Painting Juices Flowing is from https://www.cheekyvino.co.uk/

Being faced with a blank canvas can be very daunting. We've all been there! Sometimes no matter how hard we try, that space doesn't get filled.

Sometimes we just need some inspiration! Of course, when I talk about a blank canvas, I mean any surface you intend to decorate with your artistry! It doesn't have to be hand painted wine glasses like these. It could be any glass surface. Even your fishbowl!

This article aims to help you get started. To help you fill that blank canvas and get your creative juices flowing.

So without further ado...

3 Ideas To Help You Fill That Blank Canvas

Simple Glass Painting Designs

Some of you may probably have seen a lot of different glass art designs with intricate patterns, involving complicated designs and colors. At first, my tendency was to back off and push the idea of painting my very first art on a glass. But there’s no need to fret actually.There are simple designs and patterns of glass painting that a beginner, with not-so-much experience, can try. Even kids can start explore their creativity with these.

Tap Into The Emotions

Let your imagination run wild and think outside the box. Sometimes a good idea is staring you in the face. Why not look at the object you want to paint and see how you can tap into the emotions connected with the object. These glasses are a great example of this by making full use of the sort of emotions you might feel at the end of a long day.

Injecting some humour into your style will go a very long way and if you're stuck for ideas, you can always ask our friends or family to help you along your way.

Develop Your Own Theme

You can apply your creativity to anything that's made of glass which makes this craft so versatile. Here's a great example of a very unique style of painting by 'Witchcrafts' who produce a range of glassware all painted by hand by Steph who lives in Scotland.

This is a great example of finding your niche and developing your style which can take a while to do, but you will eventually find your style. Once you do, there's no stopping your creativity!

I hope you found that helpful. Would love to get your feedback, so go ahead and comment on the article and let us know about your own experiences and how you find inspiration to get into the creative state of mind.

5 Personalised Bride And Groom Gifts For A Perfect Wedding

The entry 5 Personalised Bride And Groom Gifts For A Perfect Wedding is thanks to https://cheekyvino.co.uk/

Looking for personal wedding gifts for the bride and groom and not sure what to get? Gifts for the happy couple can often be a bit predictable, and the newlyweds seem to end up with several cutlery sets, a few picture frames, 10 bottles of champagne, etc!

So why not think outside the box and surprise the happy couple with something completely unexpected! Here are a few unique gift ideas that will make yours stand out from the crowd!

Before you pursue things further, you should consider a few factors. Firstly, when it comes to being personal, it's best you know the likes and dislikes of the couple so as to avoid the possibility of going to such great efforts, only for them to be disappointed in your purchase.

If you're unsure about a certain idea, then you can do your own background research by checking the wedding gift list to see the sorts of gift ideas they've listed. This should help you develop a better understanding of their tastes.

A Memory Box

A memory box makes a beautiful and sentimental present for a special couple to fill with memories of their big day, such as champagne corks, table names, cards, invites and photos. You could have the box personalised with the bride and grooms' names and the wedding date, even have a secret message written inside. Find out more about this beautiful wedding box here.

A Cushion

When it comes to choosing a wedding gift,  you can’t go wrong with a home accessory such as a beautiful personalised cushion, especially if the newlyweds have just bought a house together. Imagine how pleased they would be to see a happy reminder on their couch every day they get back from a hard day's work.

Personalised Champagne Flutes

Why not treat the bride & groom to a pair of personalised champagne flutes or wine glasses, hand painted to match the colour of their outfits and with names and wedding date on the bases! They make the perfect keepsake and can be brought out on anniversaries for years to come! These glasses are lovingly painted by hand with high attention to detail.

Careful consideration is given to the overall aesthetic which helps to balance out form and function while oozing quality at the same time. They are decorated with pretty pearls which help to complete the stylised and textured background.

A Vase

The bride and groom will no doubt have several bouquets of flowers to take home after the big day! So why not treat them to a beautiful (and useful) personalised vase to keep their wedding flowers in! Not only does a vase make a stunning git, but the bride and groom will thank you for giving them something so useful that they can use straight away!

Personalised Flip Flops

If the newlyweds have a romantic honeymoon planned somewhere abroad, then some personalised footwear make a fantastic and fun wedding gift idea! The couple can wear them as they walk along the beach, and some designs even have a print on the bottom so the couple will leave their names printed on the sand!

Imagine them walking into the sunset, hand in hand while every footstep reminds them of the amazing future that awaits them. What better personalised wedding gifts for the bride and groom to enjoy on their honeymoon!
